Editorial Review:

It's called "the Mozart Effect," the notion that exposing youngsters to the melodies of the maestro can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory. It's a pretty big leap of faith to understand that effect unless you personally see a toddler react to the stimulation. The Baby Einstein folks have a series of tapes (Baby Einstein, Baby Bach) that add visual stimulation to the bouncy recordings (using vibraphone, Rhodes electric piano, and even a glockenspiel). The melodies are heard against colorful imagery of spinning tops, wave machines, soft baby toys, mobiles, and the like. Several parenting groups and magazines have heralded the tapes for children 1 to 36 months, but the Orwellian aspect of introducing babes in arms to the TV screen may cause many to just pick up the CD. --Doug Thomas

Run, don't walk - to purchase this item.......2007-06-24

For months 2 through 11 - we'd pop one of this bad boys into my laptop, crank it up at dinner time - and actually were able to sit for 25 minutes. A godsend.

Excellent product.......2007-06-13

People keep stating this product is an illegal copy. Well I tell you, I can Not tell this is a copy in anyway. Each DVD has a high quality color picture on top which is flawless; the image in not shifted or lifted in anyway. The box also has high quality color pictures all over and is also flawless; again no lifting of the edges or misalignments. There is even a little magnet imbedded in the box to keep the lid closed. The only questionable aspects are the price, the lack of product inserts, and the DVD sleeves are on the cheaper side. If this product is a reproduction, I am impressed.

I haven't played all the DVD's yet, but I assume they are complete versions.

Outstanding Collection!.......2007-06-05

My kids love them! Why pay more if you can have the exact same dvd for so much less?? It is not worth buying them individualy for ($10 each?)... instead you can pay $3 each!!! So much better. They are the originals! Great collection for babies to toddlers! You can choose the language you want (English, Spanish or French)!! GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!

Could not be happier.......2007-05-23

I got this set a couple of days ago and I could not be happier. Each DVD is protected in their own sleeve and all the DVDs are in a nice looking box. If you love Baby Einstein this is the set to get.

Best Baby Einstein deal out there!!.......2007-05-23

Whether or not these DVDs are bootlegged is irrelevant to me. Mine actually arrived with 23 DVDs, and each one is exactly the same in appearance and content as the ones you can buy individually for $15 each! You don't get the case for each, which probably includes a description and an age recommedation, so you just have to pop them in the player to see what you are getting. Or I have found other reviews out there with that info if you really need it. But with my little girl, age recommendations aren't that important anyway. She just watches whichever ones are interesting to her that day.

I would recommend this product to anyone. It's definitely the best deal on Baby Einstein that you will find anywhere!

Baby Mozart, Just Wonderful.......2007-06-03

Baby Einstein is a wonderful new line of videos to aid in your child's development. Get them off to a new start with these videos, and this special one, Baby Mozart. Get them well on the way to a successful future now! Don't wait!

Baby Einstein is a Scam.......2007-05-27

Be a genius, don't fall for the alluring proposition that this will make you child any more cultured or intelligent. There are no studies or otherwise to prove anything that these videos claim.

"The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) does not recommend television for children younger than two years of age." - [...]

"The baby video industry is a scam. There's no evidence that the videos are educational for babies, and a review of the research on babies and videos concludes that while older babies can imitate simple actions from a video they've seen several times, they learn much more rapidly from real life."
-Harvard Medical School psychologist Susan Lynn

safest buy of the series.......2007-05-22

This is the first one we got and 10-month old daughter has been watching this one since she was 2 or 3 months, and still loves it. I'd say either this, or the Baby Monet, is her favorite of the BE DVDs. The "choreography" is spectacular; for instance, during the Turkish march, they show toy penguins (at least I think that's what they are) moving up and down one of those roller-coaster things. No doubt that it's marketing for their toys, but it's enjoyable to watch it anyway, and probably helping to develop her sense of music. When I put that same piece on for the baby (some recording other than the BE DVD) and I imitate the penguins, she laughs. To be sure, the quality of BE DVDs varies from one to another, and just because you like one, doesn't mean you'll like all of them. But if you buy only one of them, this is the one to get.

Notwithstanding the lack of correlation between exposure to baby videos and intelligence (as cited by some other reviewers), a search of the scientific literature does yield some studies published in recent years showing that exposing infants to specific musical styles influences their musical preference later on (for instance, see Cognition. 2000 Oct 16;77(1):B15-23). Obviously, this does not mean that you need BE. My infant hears much more music, including plenty of Mozart, via audio without video, and the BE is just something extra. In spite of the commercial content, I think it is a worthwhile expense.

A 30 minute toy commercial.......2007-04-21

Not only do they start with a promotional message you are not allowed to skip, the whole DVD shows a selection of toys available for purchase - the website is helpfully listed at the end.

So... they are advertising directly to our babies now, and making us pay for it by saying they are going to help our children's brains.

So, you can take your pick as to who is being programmed.

This one's going back. I think I'll try The Wiggles.

About as useful as those Dog Sitter DVD's.......2007-04-06

Very highly overrated... I've seen kids that would be mesmerized by this and I'm glad it works for their parents... I think my child is just easily bored... to be honest you'd keep your childs attention more by throwing on a family video.

I'll try the tapes again when she's a little older but for a curious and intelligent nine-month old I'd have to say these tapes are a waste of money.

Tyler's Mom.......2007-02-17

My son started watching this at 2 weeks of age. Decided to buy a new DVD for a change, so we bought him a Baby Einstein. The Baby Einstein didn't hold his interest at all compared to this Baby Genius video. He still watches the same video at almost 12 months of age and is still captivated by it. Definitely worth the $10! We are now buying a new Baby Genius DVD for his first birthday.

I love it.......2007-01-28

I love this video and music cd combo. My three year old likes to watch the video before bed. It calms him down and gets him ready to go to sleep. I had looked every where trying to find this particular video. I tried Wal-mart and any other store that I could think of that might have it. Thank you so much for carrying this item.

Good For Winding Down.......2005-11-06

I play this at night when getting my son ready for bed. There is a repeat feature which is easier than finding the remote to restart after its over and the child is still not ready to sleep. It's calming and also educational. My son likes to yell out the alphabet along to the video.

These are wonderful!!!.......2004-11-02

The person with the 2 separate negative ratings (1 star) is absolutely nuts!!! Maybe someone should tell them that you can't just sit your child in front of the t.v. for hours on end by themself to watch these. These dvd's are not meant to be babysitters!

I have 13 of the baby einstein dvd's, 6 of the cd's and 4 of the books! My 10 month old daughter adores each and every one of them. They are very fun, musical, colorful and a great way to introduce your child/ren to different things. Great learning tools for you to watch/listen to with your child. I would recommend these to anyone with children!!

A very satisfied customer!

Life Saver.......2004-08-31

My 18mos old twins have loved these videos since they were 6mos old. They have allowed me and my husband to have a quiet dinner, an otherwise rare event! The twins watch them over and over again and are incredibly captivated every time. They are truly a life saver when you need a moment of time to yourself.

These are great dvds! To each it's own!.......2004-07-16

This last two people were the same people. They're great dvds, just some babies may not like them. All of my kids, and my neigbhors kids all LOVE them! They will not cause your child any long term damage, that is just assinine.

A lot of babies love this dvd. My 2 year old triplet's and 6 month old STILL watch them for 1/2 hours and more so I can do real work around the house.

My Baby sister cries when she sees this! It sux!.......2004-05-24

These DVD's are a complete waste of money! My sister pays no attention to them, she chews on the "shiny" disks and points to the cheap toys on the cover complaining she doesn't have them. I donated the disks to the Good Will for some other cheeseball to buy them. If you buy these you will go nuts and maybe even get so pissed, you crack the disks engaging your son/daughter into some dangerous activity. I hope you use this info wisely, and interact with your child/sibling instead of forcing them to watch the dumbest DVD ever. You and your child will eventually thank me for interacting with your child future. If you listen, to my review, you are improving the liklihood of your kid to be successful in life! Thanx!

IS TV BAD.......2004-03-16

I HAVE A 7 MONTH OLD SON AND I HAVE PURCHASED A FEW BABY EINSTEIN VIDEOS WORLD ANIMALS NEIGHBORHOOD ANIMALS AND BABY NEPTUNE. I TOO HAVE READ THE WEBSITE ONE OF YOUR REVIEWERS HAD WRITTEN ABOUT . IT DOES NOT STATE THAT WATCHING TV IS BAD FOR CHILDREN UNDER 2 IT STATES THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ENOUGH RESEARCH DONE AND IT IS NOT RECCOMENDED. THE REVIEWER SUGGESTS A MOMMY'S DAY OUT PLAY GROUP,THERE IS NOTHING OF THE SORT IN OUR AREA. I ALSO AGREE WITH CHILD INTERACTION,HOWEVER I WON'T UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTLY NECESSARY BE LEAVING MY SON IN THE HANDS OF A PLAYGROUP FOOLING MYSELF INTO THINKING THAT IT WILL BE BETTER THAN A HALF AN HOUR OF INTERACTING WITH ME AND BABY NEPTUNE. MY SON LOVES THE COLORS SHAPES OTHER BABIES ETC,AND HE IS SAFE IN HIS OWN HOME. I AM NOT A LAZY MOTHER I PLAY WITH MY SON ALL DAY AS I WORK NIGHTS. I TOO TAKE HIM TO PLAY WITH OTHER KIDS POINT OUT THINGS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ETC..... AND SOMETIMES GO ON LITTLE SLEEP SO HE DOES NOT HAVE TO GO TO A SITTER. I AM VERY FORTUNATE FOR A SCHEDULE THAT NOT EVERYONE HAS. SO FOR ALL THOSE MOMS OUT THERE WHO ARE USING THESE VIDEOS AS A TOOL TO LEARN AND BEING THERE WATCHING THE VIDEO WITH YOUR BABY I APPLAUD YOU. YOU TOOK THE EFFORT TO DO RESEARCH READ THESE REVIEWS AND TRY TO DO THE BEST FOR YOUR BABY,AFTER ALL NOTHING IN MODERATION IS BAD,I HAVE HEARD OF PLAYGROUPS GOING TO MCDONALDS,IS THERE NO END TO THE CRITISISM? IN ADDITION AT 6MONTHS MY SON HAD A FOUR WORD VOCABULARY 8 TEETH AND CAN GET HIMSELF OUT OF HIS OWN CARSEAT!! AND HE WATCHES 1/2 HOUR OF BABY EINSTEIN PER DAY. THANK YOU BABY EINSTEIN!!!!!

Based on research that classical music enhances a baby's brain development, Mozart and Friends is a medley of classical compositions coupled with engaging real-life and animated visuals. A piano rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" accompanies a dazzling host of moon and stars dancing across the screen. In another scene, musical instruments are suspended alongside orchestral notes; later, a bouquet of balloons soars in the sky. Color patterns and object sequencing are introduced by way of bright building blocks; puzzle pieces show spatial relationships--all of which, experts say, cause tiny synapses in a child's brain to make critical connections. This, of course, matters not to kiddies who merely delight in the interspersed scenes of babies and animals at play. A superb soundtrack of various composers is the only narrative in the 37-minute program; there are no added voiceovers or recitations. Less stimulating than other infant development videos, this calming program is suitable for toddler quiet time. Ages 9 to 36 months. --Lynn Gibson

Description

Finally, music videos that really make a difference! Mozart and Friends introduces your baby to colors, shapes, letters, numbers, animals, other babies and more! With our second award-winning video, Mozart and Friends Sleepytime, soothe your baby to relaxing imagery set to calming classical music!

My Baby Loves It & I Think It's Great!.......2007-01-01

I found this DVD at my local Dollar General store for $3 brand new. My baby is watching it right now. She is 4 months old and loves it. I enjoy the music. It keeps her so engaged that I can get some things done, or just some much needed relaxing time for myself. I'm a former school teacher and think this video is great for stimulating her brain as well. It's so enjoyable to watch her eyes light up as she watches this video and hear her giggle at the babies in the video.

Fantastic!.......2006-04-21

We have had great success with the Baby Genius videos. Our experience was quite different than those who have listed negative reviews above - so we'll chalk such different experiences up to the fact that everyone is unique, therefore we encourage anyone with an infant to give these videos a try. These are the only videos our first son (who is now 4 1/2 years old)would actually be interested in watching when he was an infant/toddler (between 6 months to 2 years). Although everyone learns at a different pace, our son was reading simple words by the time he was 3 years old and now, at 4 1/2, can probably read as well as any 7 or 8 year old we know. We attribute his ability to read so early and so well to his God-given gift, all of the time we spent interacting with him (making fun games out of words, etc.), and these videos. We would always watch the videos with him - and we would interact with him (i.e. when he was about 1 1/2 years old, we would play games with the video regarding what colors he saw, what letters and numbers he could recognize, etc). We believe the interaction while wacthing the videos was a critical step in his quick learning ability. We have just introduced the videos to our 6 month old and he seems to like the sounds, colors, and sights as well. Anyway, we wish you the best with your children and hope that your experience with the videos will be as pleasant and rewarding as ours was (and hopefully will be with our newest son).

Poor video.......2005-11-07

A friend gave this to me. The first time we watched it was when my daughter was about 6 months. She wasn't impressed and neither was I (although I do enjoy the music). I decided to add it to the rotation of Baby Einstein and Curious Buddies that we have - for which my daughter, now 19 months, is glued to the TV. It came up today and after 2 minutes she was off playing with toys and had no interest whatsoever. Sorry my friend wasted her money. It's going in the donation box.

Wonderful reinforcing tool!.......2004-03-07

I picked up the VHS version of this as a previously viewed tape at a local video rental store thinking it would be nice as a break from Telletubbies, Dora and the like. I was very supprised when it quickly became the favorite in our media library! While I agree that the program does not overtly teach the alphabet & etc... However, it has held my little one's attention from about the age of 6 months through the 3 1/2 yrs that my daughter is at now. (She still loves it!) My daughter now says the alphabet while it is appearing on screen. So while I don't believe that it is a good teaching tool, it does reinforce! (I would rather teach the children myself anyway!) I have recently obtained the DVD version of this and am pleased that the parent's intro has moved to the end on the DVD.

Images Don't Relate To Music.......2003-07-22

The Baby Genious video is very low quality compared to the two Baby Einstein videos I own. First, the Baby Genious Mozart and Friends music track is muffled, and is no better than just playing a random mozart CD, then randomly placing images on the screen. For example, a number sequence from zero to nine slowly appears on the screan, but not in sync with the music. Then the music track ends and starts anew even though the numerical sequence has not completed.

Some of the camera work is shaky, and appears as if it were photographed by amatures. The editing is random, again not in sequence with the music.

The images are poor. Imagine a still picture of the sky, then two-dimensional drawings of ballons floot by the screen. The images are not interesting -- and their movements are computer generated, again not related to the music.

All I can say is that my child's attention is not maintained by the Baby Genious Mozart and Friends video. I suggest getting the Baby Einstein videos because their music, editing and production values are far superior. Further, the Baby Einstein videos use puppets and real images.

Customer Reviews:

ok maybe for a younger child to send them off to sleep.......2007-02-26

This one is ok but it seems to not be able to keep their attention for long, I much prefer the interactive Baby Genius videos that the kids are all involved with singing and dancing, like Childrens Favorite Songs, and Childrens Favorite Nursery Rhymes.

Not the best DVD.......2004-12-23

I was disappointed in this DVD. I really didn't want to compare it to the Baby Einstein Baby Mozart DVD, but it's impossible not to. The images on this Baby Genius DVD stay on the screen for longer periods of time and they tend to be more pastel rather than primary. Also, on the Genius DVD, there are images of animals (a brown squirrel running around on brown grass - which makes no sense to me since babies are stimulated by bright colors) and children who really aren't doing anything that entertaining or interesting. I really prefer the Baby Einstein Baby Mozart DVD because the images are brighter, they rotate in shorter periods of time (keeping my son's interest piqued), and the hand puppets and toys shown are just generally better and more interesting than the Baby Genius DVD. If you're looking to get a DVD and can't decide between Baby Genius and Baby Einstein, go with the Einstein.

Product Description

The video contains 3 workouts geared to children of different ages and seeks to improve strength, flexibility and coordination in young children. WORKOUT 1 (6 weeks to walking): Exercises for beginning movements with emphasis on using both left and right sides of the body. The child is made aware of using all limbs to the fullest extent. Eye movements are stressed with eventual hand-Eye coordination drills being introduced. WORKOUT 2 (12 months (or walking) to 3 years): Building on the exercises learned in the previous section, continual repetition is used to improve all skills. As the child continues to mature and improve, more exercises are introduced involving gross and fine motor skills.. You will begin to notice improvement and will appreciate the cognitive power children possess. WORKOUT 3 (3 - 5 years): Continuing to build on the prior exercises, coordination, flexibility, and strenth drills are stressed as the child begins to appreciate what they are accomplishing. Running and jumping skills are learned through fun exercises. Each skill is improved by repetition and new, more complicated exercises are introduced. All previous skills come together as the child has learned to appreciate the great feeling of success within their own abilities. Sport skills are emphasized through continual attention to gross and fine motor skills combined with improved hand eye coordination. See WWW.MYKIDSFIRSTCOACH.COM for more information

Great for parents & kids.......2007-04-25

This DVD fully explains repetitive movements and fun activities that help w/coordination.
I'm most concerned about promoting childhood activity and avoiding obesity.
This DVD really shows how to do this in through regular playtime activities w/o making it be a project or an issue.

I think that's the best part!
